Krissy Many Receives Broker’s License
Why pursue a broker’s license?
She goes on to explain, “Covid-19 brought many changes and uncertainties. I felt this was the perfect time to expand my knowledge and increase my education by pursuing a broker license. Although I prefer an “in classroom” experience, I had no choice but to attend class “online.”. The additional 45 hours of training took more commitment and determination on my part in the virtual learning method. However, it was important to me and it made me carve out time to dedicate to obtaining this goal of mine. This achievement was a personal goal I had set for myself when I became a full-time realtor in 2015. As a top producer, ranking in the top 10 the last few years, I felt it was my responsibility to always be learning and improving my craft to better serve my clients. So, knowledge and experience are the benefits that I will be able to offer my clients. I never considered myself a salesperson, but identified more as a consultant. This new achievement was a natural progression in my business. I love what I do and I look forward to helping families and investors achieve their real estate goals.

Krissy Many Receives Military Relocation Professional Certification
Krissy Many of Green Team New York Realty has achieved Military Relocation Professional (MRP) Designation. This certification prepares real estate professionals to work with current and former military service members. Importantly, the course addresses finding the right housing solutions and taking full advantage of military benefits and support.
NAR’s Military Relocation Professional Certification
When military staff and their families relocate, the services of a real estate professional who understands their needs and timetables makes the transfer easier, faster, and less stressful. This certification focuses on educating real estate professionals about working with current and former military service members to find the housing solutions that best suit their needs and take full advantage of military benefits and support. Course participants learn to provide the real estate services, at any stage in the service member’s military career, that meet the needs of this niche market and win future referrals. In addition, participants hone their knowledge and skills to work with active-duty military buyers and sellers, as well as veterans with the NAR’s Military Relocation Professional Certification.
When asked why she decided to obtain this certification, Krissy replied:
“Veterans and their families do what they do so we can do what we do in comfort and safety. I sought this designation so that in some small way I can show my support for our military. Maybe, just maybe, I can make their relocation and home selection a little easier and smoother. The benefit of this training and designation is that I will speak and understand their language as well as their time frames. Military personnel speak a language all their own and it is full acronyms! Their needs, timing and challenges are unique to them. I understand these factors and can be a source of information, guidance and support to our military families in their real estate needs.”
